Application filed August 24, 1927. S rial No. 215.142.

The present invention relates to improved window fixtures of the class wherein a series of independent supporting devices are pro vided for simultaneously suspending a window shade. curtains, and complemental draperies.

The salientand indispensable features of the invention are as follows:

First, due to theadjustablc featuresof the structure it can be used for any size curtains and shade rollers. y

Secondly, only four nails are required in fastening the entire fixture on the window.

Third, it :[its any window so that no measurements are required before putting it up. Moreover the curtains and shades can be attached and centered with respect ,to the window while they are held in place through the medium of the sliding devices.

Finally, the relative adjustability parts is such as to permit the curtain, draperies and shades to be hung in an expeditious manner.

Other advantages and features of the 1nvention will become apparent from the following description and drawings.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is atop plan view of thc'complete fixture showing the relative position of parts and showing the m anncr in which it is mounted on the window frame.

Figure 2 is an enlarged end fragmentary view showing the attaching brackets, the curtain support brackets, and the shade roller brackets. 1 y

Figure 3 is a longitudinal section taken ap proximately upon the plane of the line 83 of Figure 2.

Figures 1, 5, and 6 are transverse sections taken .on the lines 4i i; 5-5, and 6+6. of Figure 2.' Figure 7 is a perspective View of the improved curtain bracket. n

Figure 8 is a perspective VlOW or the 1mnrovcd shade bracket. L lleferrinp; now to the drawings by numorals. it will be seen that the main supportins: member is designated generally by the reference character 9, the same beingcomposed of a pair of telescopicallyconnected sections 10 and 11 and these sections being formed on their longitudinaledges with channel. shaped guides. The end portions of the sectionsare directed outwardly and at substantial right angles as indicated at the points 12. A pair of supporting brackets 13 are provided for fastening these sections in place. Each bracket comprises a metal plate having attaching ears 14 screwed or otherwise fastened to the window frame 15. The plates are provided with substantially tubular guides 16 as shown in Figure 2 to permit sliding motion of the sections 10 and 11 in an obvious manner. Located at each end of the supporting member we find a pair of individual brackets. These brackets are better shown in Figures 7 and 8. In Fig- 7 the bracket 17 is provided for supporting a curtain and is therefore designated as the curtain bracket. It is provided with a right angularly disposed longitudinally bowed portion 18 which is slidably fitted in the guide channel of the aforesaid sections 10 or 11 as the case may be. Closely associated with the curtain bracket we find a shade bracket 19 having a right angularly disposed mounting including separate curved portions 20 and 21 respectively. The curved portion 20 overlies and frictionally engages and holds inplace the part 18 of the curtain bracket 17 while the remaining portion 21 is in tight sliding connection withthe complemental sections 10, as shown in Figure 3.

Obviously the shade brackets 19 are slid ably mounted in sections 10 and 11 of the main supporting member 9 as shown in F igure 1, thus permitting the shade roller and shade 22 to be suspended therebetween as here shown. The adjustable curtain support 23 is attached to the bracket 17 in an obvious manner. Finally, the drapery support 24 which is also adjustable has its inturned ends connected to the aforesaid end portions 12 of the main supporting member. that I have provided an adjustable main support, attaching brackets therefor provided with guides to permit sliding motion of the sections of this supporting member. The end portions of the supporting member are directed outwardly and this permits the inturncd end portions of the drapery su' iport to be telescopically connected therewith.

It is believed that by considering the de- Thus, it will be seen tailedv description in connection with the descri otion is thou 'htunnecessar While the preferred embodimentv of the invention has been shown and described, it
